Abstract
Cellular barcoding enables the dissection of clonal dynamics in heterogeneous cell populations through single cell lineage tracing. The labeling of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) with unique and heritable DNA barcodes, makes it possible to resolve donor cell heterogeneity in terms of differentiation potential and lineage bias at the single cell level, through subsequent transplantation and high-throughput sequencing. Furthermore, cellular barcoding allows for bona fide hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to be defined based on functional rather than immunophenotypic parameters.
This protocol describes the work flow of lentiviral cellular barcoding, tracking 14.5 days post coitum (d.p.c.) fetal liver (FL) Lineage-Sca+cKit+ (LSK) HSPCs following long-term reconstitution (Figure 1) (Kristiansen et al., 2016), but can be adapted to the cell type or time frame of choice.

Background
The cellular barcoding technique was initially established to resolve single cell dynamics upon transplantation of hematopoietic cells in vivo and has in recent years contributed significantly to our appreciation of the functional heterogeneity within blood cell populations in a transplantation setting (Schepers et al., 2008; Gerrits et al., 2010; Lu et al., 2011; Naik et al., 2013; Verovskaya et al., 2013; Kristiansen et al., 2016). The generation and characterization of lentiviral barcode libraries, the importance of library complexity as well as the associated analytical challenges have been carefully reviewed (Bystrykh et al., 2014; Naik et al., 2014; Bystrykh and Belderbosv, 2016) and need to be considered before starting this protocol to ensure proper experimental design. The current protocol pertains our adaptation of the technology as seen in our recent article (Kristiansen et al., 2016), to trace the long-term reconstitution capacity of FL derived HSPCs.
